By running FreeDOS FORMAT on the partition, I appear to have "corrected" this problem. The difference in the MBR's is: (sde is the new MBR): [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ diff sde.txt ube.txt 28,29c28,29 < 0000660 0000 0000 0000 0000 69ff 0001 0000 0180 < 0000700 0001 fe0b 063f 003f 0000 f141 0001 0000 --- > 0000660 0000 0000 0000 0000 4c79 000a 0000 0180 > 0000700 0001 fe0e 063f 003f 0000 f141 0001 0000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ I can cause the problem again by running the HP utility to make the stick bootable, which formats it FAT16.
